Nutrition - Vital Nutrients



We don't always eat right.

The chart below highlights the importance of supplementing the diet with a combination of key nutraceuticals to maintain optimal health, vitality and longevity. While some research indicates that isolated nutrients elicit a beneficial effect in preventing and treating disease, it is critical that we understand the synergistic effects of nutrients, and realize the great importance of long-term supplementation with a complete spectrum of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and disease-fighting phytochemicals*.

Nutrient/Nutrient Interactions

Vitamin A

Vitamin A becomes more easily absorbed, utilized and stored in the body in the presence of b>vitamin E.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron, and converts iron to its most absorbable form in the body. Vitamin C is involved with other antioxidants, especially Vitamin E, selenium, and beta-carotene.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D works synergistically with vitamin K and calcium to increase the amount of bone-friendly osteocalcin and improve bone metabolism in women with osteoporosis*. Vitamin D also increases the active absorption of calcium.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E can increase the absorption, utilization and storage of vitamin A and may protect against hypervitaminosis A. When vitamin E is used together with vitamin C, it has the ability to reduce the risk of preeclampsia in high-risk pregnant women*. Some evidence also suggests that vitamin C might help recycle damaged vitamin E alpha-tocopherol to a more useable form in the body. Selenium enhances the antioxidant effects of Vitamin E.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K works synergistically with vitamin D and calcium to increase the amount of bone-friendly osteocalcin and improve bone metabolism in women with osteoporosis*.

Calcium Calcium is better absorbed and utilized by the body in the presence of vitamin D
Iron

Iron is more easily absorbed and utilized by the body in the presence of vitamin C. Vitamin C also converts less-absorbable forms of iron to its reduced (ferrous) and best absorbed form.

Magnesium Magnesium is better absorbed and utilized by the body in the presence of boron.
Copper

Copper is better utilized by the body in the presence of vitamin B6, and in fact, a vitamin B6 deficiency will actually inhibit the absorption of copper.

Manganese Manganese is better absorbed and utilized by the body in the presence of zinc.
Chromium Chromium is better absorbed and utilized by the body in the presence of vitamin C.
Boron

Boron helps to convert vitamin D into a more useable form, and also influences the effects of magnesium and calcium in optimizing bone metabolism and reducing bone loss*.

B vitamins All 8 B vitamins work synergistically together for optimal health.
CoQ10 Works with Biotin. Spares vitamin E.
Zinc Zinc plays an important role in metabolism and immune functioning. Manganese is better absorbed and utilized by the body in the presence of zinc.
